Duan Lingtian's current thoughts are completely different from Hou Qingning's. He thought more and went deeper, "Ding Yan's uncle, he is the Black Dragon Elder in Tianlong Sect."
"Even if he is just a worshiper and the identity of the Black Dragon Elder is given casually, it is enough to show that he is extraordinary."
"Such a character opened this 'back door' for Ding Yan. Is it impossible for Ding Yan to be missed?"
"In this case, there are only two possibilities..."
"The first possibility is that they are taking care of Ding Yan."
"The second possibility is that Ding Yan's strength is not bad, so there is no need to take action from the front."
Of the two possibilities, Duan Lingtian prefers the latter one.
"Ding Yan."
At this time, Duan Lingtian smiled and looked at Ding Yan, who was looking at Hou Qingning thoughtfully, "Although you are only the lower god king now, your fire law should be improved more than your cultivation level, right?"
"Um?"
Duan Lingtian's sudden words shocked Ding Yan, "You...how do you know?"
He asked himself, except for his uncle Sikong, few people knew about the improvement of his fire law.
Perhaps, the Black Dragon Elder Lan Yushan, who is in charge of this Qianlong Competition, also knows.
However, it is impossible for Duan Lingtian to know.
"It seems that in their eyes, you are much stronger than Hou Qingning."
Duan Lingtian smiled.
At this time, if Hou Qingning still couldn't react, then his life would have been in vain.
Hou Qingning came back to his senses and stared at Ding Yan, "Ding Yan, you guy... to what extent have you understood the laws of fire?"
"I actually didn't have to play all day today."
"Today, there are less than a hundred people who don't need to be treated on the court... Don't tell me that in their eyes, your strength can make it into the top 100 in the Hidden Dragon Competition."
Hou Qingning couldn't even dream of ranking among the top 100 in the Qianlong Competition, even though he now has the top-grade artifact lent to him by Duan Lingtian.
Just now, although he also won the second game, his opponent was so strong that he only narrowly won with the help of a high-grade artifact.
He still remembers the jealous and unwilling look in the other person's eyes when he looked at the high-grade artifact in his hand.
He also knew in his heart that if the other party had not only had a mid-grade artifact in his hand, he would have been defeated, not the other party.
But there is no way, who let Hou Qingning have a friend like Duan Lingtian?
This is life!
If you are jealous, go and borrow a high-grade artifact!
Of course, this is all Hou Qingning's inner drama. If he really speaks out, he will definitely become a public enemy, because few of the group of young geniuses participating in the Qianlong Competition have high-grade artifacts in their hands, even if they are only temporarily borrowed.
Top-grade artifacts are not something that is found on the street. Even among the major god-emperor forces, they are rare items and are only in the hands of a few top executives.
"It's not bad. It's definitely improved compared to before."
Ding Yan smiled "silly".
“How small is progress?”
Hou Qingning asked unwillingly.
"It's just that... I have understood the fusion of several three mysteries of the law of fire."
When Ding Yan said the response that Hou Qingning was expecting, Hou Qingning was immediately dumbfounded. As far as he knew, this level of understanding of the secrets of the law was comparable to that of the top young geniuses of the major God-Emperor powers.
Even Duan Lingtian's understanding of the laws of space is only slightly better than this, right?
For example, the Wuyin Sect geniuses Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao who died under Duan Lingtian in the past, their understanding of the profound meaning of the law is comparable to what Ding Yan said now, right?
Coupled with Ding Yan's crazy bloodline.
In other words, with Ding Yan's current strength, even if he were to face Shangguan Xiongfeng and Long Xiao in the past, even if he was a little weaker, he wouldn't be much weaker.
"How did you understand the laws of fire? Isn't this speed of progress too exaggerated?"
Hou Qingning's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Isn't it easy to guess?"
Duan Lingtian smiled faintly, and then took a deep look at Ding Yan, "Ding Yan's uncle must have sent him to the secret room of Tianlong Sect's laws."
"As far as I know, the Tianlong Sect, as a God-Emperor-level force, has rich veins of sacred stones that are far beyond the reach of God-Emperor-level forces... The secret chamber of laws in it can even help people understand the fusion of the three mysteries."
"Ding Yan."
Speaking later, Duan Lingtian said with a teasing smile: "It seems that your uncle is probably not just an ordinary Black Dragon elder."
Let one person understand such a powerful fire law in less than thirty years.
Even if the amount of sacred stones consumed is compared to what he consumed in the Linghu family, I'm afraid it's not much more.
This is not something that ordinary black dragon elders are capable of doing.
"Duan Lingtian."
Ding Yan smiled bitterly, "I discovered that you are not only talented and have incredible understanding, but you also have a terrifying mind... You are right, I did understand the laws of fire in the secret room of Tianlong Sect.
of."
After talking about it, Ding Yan sighed.
It was this incident that made him feel that he owed Uncle Sikong a huge favor, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to repay him in the future, unless one day his cultivation could surpass him.
"The secret room of Tianlong Sect's laws?"
Hou Qingning was speechless now. His throat felt dry, but his heart was still trembling.
He was not surprised that Ding Yan could enter the Tianlong Sect's secret room of laws.
A black dragon elder might be able to let someone into the Tianlong Sect's law chamber at any time.
However, how long he can stay depends on how high the status of the Black Dragon Elder is in the Tianlong Sect...
He knew the laws of fire that Ding Yan had understood in the past, even worse than the laws he had understood.
But now, Ding Yan's fire laws have left the laws he understood far behind, to the point where he is beyond his reach.
"Fortunately, I was still thinking about competing with you... Now it seems that even if you don't use a top-grade artifact and I use a top-grade artifact, I still can't be your opponent."
Hou Qingning said bitterly.
"I'm just lucky to have a good father."
Ding Yan shook his head, not feeling any superiority at all because of this.
"The one I admire most is Duan Lingtian."
Ding Yan said, looking at Duan Lingtian, "Duan Lingtian, as a person who came from the plane of the heavens to the plane of the gods, has no one to rely on, but he can reach this point, which is shocking and can't help but feel a little ashamed.
.”
"Duan Lingtian is a monster, only a fool would compete with him!"
After hearing Ding Yan mention this, Hou Qingning's mood improved significantly and he said with a speechless expression.
He had been beaten to pieces by Duan Lingtian a long time ago and lost his temper.
While Duan Lingtian and the others were chatting, the day's Hidden Dragon Competition came to an end.
"Duan Lingtian, it seems that even if I have the high-grade artifact you lent me, it will be difficult for me to survive the third game..."
On the way back, Hou Qingning said with a wry smile.
"You can see it."
Duan Lingtian nodded, "However, even if you lose the third game, you don't have to worry about being demoted to a disciple of the outer sect because you are at the bottom."
"That's true."
After hearing what Duan Lingtian said, Hou Qingning felt much better.
As for the third lady of the Murong family, Murong Yinyue, the situation is similar. Although her strength is stronger than Hou Qingning, her strength is very limited.
"Duan Lingtian, I will probably play tomorrow. As for you, you may also play."
Ding Yan looked at Duan Lingtian and said with a smile.
"Um."
Duan Lingtian nodded, "After watching for a few days, I haven't had a chance to play, and I'm a little itchy... I just don't know what kind of opponent will be arranged for me."
"I think it's not your heart that's itchy, it's your hands that are itchy. Do you want to torture someone?"
Hou Qingning said angrily, as if he could penetrate Duan Lingtian's heart at a glance.
"Don't talk about my opponent in such a bad way... After all, it was the opponent chosen by the elders of the Tianlong Sect for me. Do you question their vision?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head.
…
Another day passed.
The Hidden Dragon Competition continues.
On this day, although Hou Qingning and Murong Yinyue had high-grade artifacts, they were still eliminated. Those who eliminated them were inner sect disciples who only had mid-grade artifacts as a basis.
Hou Qingning's opponent, when he defeated Hou Qingning, sarcastically said to Hou Qingning, "If you didn't have a top-grade artifact, with your strength, you might not be able to win the first game!"
And Hou Qingning was not angry, "If you have the ability, you should also get a top-grade artifact."
The person who originally wanted to be angry with Hou Qingning was now turned red with anger.
"You don't even look at how old you are, how old I am...ridiculous!"
"A person who is nearly 10,000 years old has only cultivated to this level. I, a person less than 5,000 years old, am ashamed of you!"
It has to be said that Hou Qingning's mouth was very venomous. He was so angry that after Hou Qingning admitted defeat, the other party wanted to rush up and give Hou Qingning a beating. However, under the intimidation of the elders of Tianlong Sect on the side, the other party did not dare to take action.
"You guy, you really can't lose the battle."
After Hou Qingning came back, Ding Yan laughed and cursed.
"He asked for it."
Hou Qingning rolled his eyes, and then put the high-grade artifact back into the ring that Duan Lingtian had given him before, and then gave it back to Duan Lingtian after deconferring it from its owner.
"Duan Lingtian, thank you."
"I know that you must have borrowed this high-grade artifact... If I have a chance in the future, I will give you a top-grade artifact!"
When Hou Qingning said this, he was serious.
"you?"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled, "In my opinion, you should wait for me to give you a high-grade artifact. By the time you are able to give me a high-grade artifact, I will probably have already broken through to the realm of the God Emperor."
"Do you think I will still be short of high-grade artifacts by then?"
Duan Lingtian's words left Hou Qingning speechless, but he still said firmly: "Even if you break through and become the God Emperor, and give birth to a high-grade artifact with an artifact soul, will you refuse?"
At this moment, Ding Yan and Murong Yinyue couldn't stand what Hou Qingning said. Ding Yan rolled his eyes, and Murong Yinyue also looked embarrassed.
As for Duan Lingtian, he just shook his head and smiled.
A top-grade artifact that gave birth to a weapon soul?
He already had it.
"It's my turn."
Suddenly, Ding Yan, who was staring at the vacant Doului on one side, suddenly lit up because his name now appeared on it.
Then, Ding Yan didn't even say hello to Duan Lingtian and the others, and appeared on stage in a flash.
